Re: Exporting FCS data

You might check out the RFlowCyt package
(http://www.analytics.washington.edu/downloads/rflowcyt/).

You will need to install R (open source statistics software language), and then install
RFlowCyt, and then the commands:

library(rflowcyt)
fcsdata <- read.FCS("Path/FileName")
write.table(fcsdata@data,file="NewCSVFileWithData",sep=",")


for a comma-separated-value file.
